A cooler, less windy day; Lingering rain possible

After a day with record heat and very windy conditions, a cold front brings all of that to an end on Monday. It will be a significantly cooler day, with afternoon highs stuck in the 50s. It will also be a lot less windy, with wind speeds relaxing as early as Monday morning.

However, we do have to keep some rain chances for some areas. As the morning progresses, scattered rain will become possible in eastern Nebraska. These could last into the afternoon, but everyone should be dry by Monday evening.

The rain chances are highest in eastern Nebraska. Lincoln will likely be close to the back edge of the shower activity. Areas to the west have a significantly lower likelihood of seeing anything at all.

Skies will be mostly clear on Monday night, and temperatures will plummet. We’re looking for low temperatures to be near freezing on Tuesday morning.

Lincoln appears to be dry through about Thursday when our next potential weather maker arrives. We’re keeping the forecast dry on Tuesday and Wednesday for now.
